Ukraine Negotiating for EU Gas Supplies After Russia Cuts

Ukraine is sending a delegation for talks with European Union officials to negotiate natural gas supplies after Russia cut off deliveries as government troops battled separatist rebels overnight.

“Ukraine can get 15 billion cubic meters of gas from the EU,” Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said today in parliament in Kiev. “The Russian president says he is against reversed flows, and we are very much against monopolization, against economic and energy discrimination.”
